this congress is openly hostile to the Constitution. They should be deemed enemies of the United States of America and treated accordingly.

if obama signs the bill, america will have officially lost it's war on terror.

I am living in terror of my own government they have gone mad.

Congress always trying to fix what is not broken. There are far more important issues to worry about and hold sessions for, instead of wasting time because of your unnecessary and unjustified paranoia. Seriously, stop while you're ahead and before it's too late

@ufster81 If the congress voted the bill into a law, it will become a law anyway with or without the president's signature unless he's strongly opposing the bill then he will veto it, so dont drag Obama into this.

@LiberaLib They should all be thrown in Prision starting with Obama first.

@HusseinSatire That would be great but now try and find enough honest people to replace them . Or that wont become crooks after there in. Ron Paul has been in Congress long enough to show that he is true to his word and to the Bill of Rights. He votes by the Constatution every time.

@LiberaLib - Absoutely!

[Nile336]

@satinspringsarabians - absolutely correct - Americans on the whole no nothing about this Bill nor the vote to take place tomorrow. The people of the ME know more about the bill thanks to Al Jazeera than we Americans know here in our own country. The main stream corporate media is doing Americans no favors by not reporting this widely. Shame on our Congress and our media.

I think American won the battle of Afghanistan against war or terror but lost the bigger war...The moment obama signs that bill is the moment Al Qaeda wins the war.

[satinspringsarabians]

What is really sad about this bill is the fact that most Americans don't even know about it .... You can ask just about any person on the streets and they have no idea what is really going on in our Gov. This bill is just a start to a bigger and horrific plan God help us all.
